Google - ATIP. Think it is $5. What were reasons for rejection?

• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay as required by paragraph 179(b) of the IRPR (https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/SOR-2002-227/section-179.html). I am refusing your application because you have not established that you will leave Canada, based on the following factors:
• Your assets and financial situation are insufficient to support the stated purpose of travel for yourself (and any accompanying family member(s), if applicable).
• The purpose of your visit to Canada is not consistent with a temporary stay given the details you have provided in your application.

How much assets and liquid funds did she show? Is she working? Is she living with her husband in the home country? How many days she intended to stay? What's her purpose of the visit?

No wonder. Ties in Canada stronger than home country.

Agree but would also add IRCc typically wants to see visitors can pay for their own travels or in the case of parents have at least some savings.

- Funds: She needs to show her own funds. You supporting all costs raises red flags that she will not leave and cannot support herself. For a 2 month visit, she would have needed to show tens of thousands of dollars
- No ties to return: IRCC is concerned about overstay.
- Visit way too long for a person with no funds and no ties to return.

Cut trip to 2 weeks because she doesn’t have any ties to return. So if she reapplies she needs to show her own funds and be able to support most of her trip.

If PR, consider supervisa if you meet LICO. She needs to pass medical and buy one year of health insurance.

Yes. I'm applying for Super Visa now.
- This time she has about CAD 25k in her account. So I think that should be ok.

Me and wife have decent salary and have our T4s and more than $50k in our bank balance.
More than $50k in our RRSP and about $10k in TFSA.
Should we provide my TFSA and RESP balance certificates too ?

Also, how I should prove home ties for my mother?

IRCC usually wants NOA. LICO is not bank account balance but showing your NOA. So do you meet LICO for the number of people in your family. How did she get the money? Has it been in her account for at least 4-6 months?

@Naturgrl
- I have NOA for the year 2023. For 2024, I expect the Form T4 to be generated soon. Should I then quickly file the taxes to get the NOA for 2024 ? or T4 should be fine ?
- I do meet the LICO—no issues in that.
- She got the money from the sale of property and farm income.
- It has been there for 3-4 months now.

So have her take the medical and get a year of health insurance. Use NOA for 2023 with T4s , if you don’t want to wait for 2024 NOA. Good luck.

No need to attach proof of investments. Would attach proof of your chequing/savings account so more accessible funds in addition to other documentation mentioned.
